Stadium:
Davis Wade Stadium
Capacity crowds have become the norm at Mississippi State's Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field, where Sylvester Croom's football Bulldogs host six opponents for the 2007 season. Named for Don Magruder Scott, an Olympic sprinter and one of the University's first football stars, the 90-year-old historic facility (the nation's second-oldest Division I-A campus football stadium) has undergone four renovation and expansion projects during its history. The latest expansion, which raised capacity of the stadium to 55,082, began in the summer of 2000 with the construction of 50 skyboxes and 1,700 club-level seats. The expansion continued into the 2001 season with the addition of 7,000 upper deck seats. The entire project, completed at a cost in excess of $30 million, was made possible, in large part, by a financial commitment from the late Floyd Davis Wade Sr., of Meridian, Miss., for whom the stadium itself is now named.

Season Preview:
Coach Sylvester Croom enters his fourth season at Mississippi State convinced his program is better in terms of depth, talent and experience, but the Bulldogs still have a lot to prove. For the Bulldogs to improve this season the defense must replace some key components in the front seven and the offense must finally come together after three seasons of inconsistency. No problem has been more pronounced for the Bulldogs over the past three seasons than the lack of a cohesive, effective offensive line. Now the line returns four of five starters as well as improved competition and experience, in addition to solid blocker Eric Butler at tight end. If the line takes the next step and QB Michael Henig stays healthy, the Bulldogs have a realistic chance to improve, especially with playmakers such as TB Anthony Dixon and WRs Tony Burks, Jamayel Smith and Brandon McRae. Just when the Bulldogs made some tangible progress on defense they lose four of their defenses best five linemen as well as MLB Quinton Culberson. The Bulldogs will attempt to build on DEs Titus Brown and Avery Hannibal and LB Jamar Chaney, who moves from outside to inside to replace Culberson, but Juco transfers such as tackle Jessie Bowman and linebacker Dominic Douglas must come through. The secondary will be better if the Bulldogs can leave former cornerback Derek Pegues at strong safety, a move defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson hopes will Pegues to get involved in the defense. The spring progress of true sophomores Anthony Johnson and Marcus Washington at the corners made Pegues' move possible. Both P Blake McAdams and place kicker Adam Carlson struggled with consistency last fall and that didn't change in the spring. However, Pegues is back in the return game after averaging 14 yards per punt return and 23.7 yards per kick return.
